EMBROIDERY-PATTERN.

Specication of Letters Patent.

Patented July 22, 1913.

Application tiled September 11, 1911. Serial No. 648,769.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM T. J ErrensoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county/of Cook and State cation of the embroidery.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation o-f a cardboard doll garmentpattern made in accordance with my invention and adapted to receive the embroidery on parts of the waist and skirt portions thereof. Fig. 2 is a similar view of a card-board doll wearing an undergarment to the upper and lower por-- tions of which the embroidery has been applied. Fig. 3 is a view of another dress pattern wherein the perforated parts have been embroidered. Fig. 4 is a back fragmentary view of a portion of the skirt pattern shown in Fig. 3, wherein a design to be embroidered is printed on the pattern itself.

Referring to the drawing, 5 designates the figure of a printed paper or card-board doll, and 6 designates as an entirety a doll garment pattern which may either be printed on the figure 5 of the doll, as in Fig. 2, or may be made separate and adapted to be attached to the doll figure by the usual bent cli s 7. On the pattern 6 the plain or unem roidered portions of the garment represented thereby may be indicated by printing, either plain or colored, such portions being indicated at 8; While portions to be embroidered are formed with closely set rows or groups of perforations, as indicated by the parts marked 9 in Fig. 1, both to identify the parts to be embroidered and to facilitate the passage of the needle in embroidering the pattern. Individual groups of such perforations may be designated to receive different colors of embroidering silk or other material by means of correspondingly colored portions of the pattern contaming such groups of perforatio-ns, as indicated in Fig. l. In Figs. 2 and 3 the embroidered parts of the garment patterns therein shown are indicated at 10.

As a further aid to the child in working the embroidery, an embroidery pattern may be printed on either the back of the portion or portions o-f the pattern to be embroidered, as indicated at 11 in Fig. 4. The printing of such pattern may, if desired, be in suitable colors to be followed in working the embroidery; and such pat-tern would p-referably be printed on the back since that would enable the child to either follow the printed pattern or disregard it and design an original pattern, Whereas, where the pattern is printed on the front, the printed pattern has to be followed to avoid an inartistic effect. y

The device of my invent-ion constitutes an interesting and instructive toy for children, who by the use of the device can readily learn how to embroider simple patterns and to combine harmonious colors; the device being further well adapted to afford an attractive form of sample display of the embroidering materials which itserves to advertise.

I claim- An embroidery pattern comprisinga cardboard doll having a printed face, arms and garment, said doll having perfo-rations formed on the garment portion to receive embroidery stitches and a detachable outer garment having a printed garment pattern, perforations for receiving embroidery stitches and a printed embroidery pattern on theopposite side of said garment from said garment pattern.
